Day 2 sans sugar…

November 17, 2008

It’s only 2:18pm or so, but today is going alright.   I’ve been drinking a cup of water every time I want to go snack and it’s causing me to have to frequent the rest room more often, which in turn is leaving less time for boredom eating.  Good thing?

I was at the grocery store with dad today (who surprisingly is being pretty supportive with my experiment) and we discovered that nearly everything has sweeteners in it.  We solidified my thoughts that natural sweeteners, like fruit, are fine.  He says I could say ‘yes’ to honey as well, but I’m still not sure.

So my goal is that if it says “SUGAR” in the ingredients, then I say “NO”.  Granulated, high fructose and corn syrup products all stayed on the list of doom.

I drooled while near the bakery as it was so sweet over there I could taste it in the air, but I left unscathed and also somehow managed to survive the tasty flavor of the day at Culver’s on the way home from the ice rink.  I’m going to need to change my route so I’m not going past there every time I leave the dang house.

Status of the crazy leg bruise:  Still there.

Drat.

Says me.
